TheHoanya peopleinhabited present-day Chiayi under its historical name ofTirosenprior to the arrival ofHan Chinesein Taiwan and was ruled by theDutchand theKingdom of Tungningunder various names. During theQing dynasty,Tirosen was governed as part ofTaiwan PrefectureinFujianunderZhuluo Countyand the city was renamedKageein 1787. The city was renamedKagiduring theJapanese erabut anearthquake in 1906destroyed much of the town. Kagi was administered as part ofTainan Prefecturefrom 1920 onwards. Following thesurrender of Japanin 1945, theRepublic of China,whodeposed the Qing in 1911,took control of the city (renamed Chiayi City) and administered it as a provincial city ofTaiwan Provincebefore being integrated into Chiayi County in 1950 as acounty-administered city.The city was restored to its status as a provincial city in 1982. In 1998, Taiwan Province was streamlined and Chiayi City has been governed directly since then by theExecutive Yuan.
The city is known forAlishan National Scenic Areaand warmhumid subtropical climatein the summer months. Left with the landmarks of Japanese colonial rule, Chiayi City has the round-island railway system andAlishan Forest Railwaywhere the city is the starting point along with various Japanese temples.
Name
editLike the county, Chiayi City's former Chinese placename was Tsu-lo-san[4](Chinese:Chư la sơn;pinyin:Zhūluóshān;Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Chu-lô-san), a representation of the originalFormosan-languagenameTirosen.A shortened version, Tsulo, was then used to nameTsulo County,which originally covered the underdeveloped northern two-thirds of the island. In 1704, the county seat was moved to Tsulosan, the site of modern-dayChiayi City.Following the 1723Zhu Yiguirebellion, the county was reduced in size. In 1787, the county and city were renamedChiayi(Gia nghĩa;lit.'commended righteousness') by theQianlong Emperorto acknowledge the citizens' loyalty during theLin Shuangwen rebellion.[5]
History
editEarly history
editFirst inhabited by theHoanyaaborigines,the region was namedTirosen(variantsTirocen,Tiracen). With the arrival ofHan Chineseimmigrants in southwestern Taiwan, the name evolved to becomeTsulosan(Chinese:Chư la sơn;pinyin:Zhūluóshān;Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Chu-lô-san) inHokkien.Eventually, Tsulosan was shortened to simply Tsulo. Because of the choice of the characters, it has been mistakenly suggested that the origin of the name came from the expression "mountains surrounding the east". "Peach City" is another name for Chiayi City due to its peach-shaped territory in ancient times. The tip of the peach is around Central Fountain and was called "Peach-tip" by citizens.
Tsulosan was once the foothold to which people from the mainland immigrated. In 1621,Chinese Peter ,who came fromZhangzhou,FujianProvince, first led his people to cultivate this land after they landed atPonkan(modern-dayBeigang).
Dutch Formosa
editRecords from theDutch era,beginning in 1624, show Tirosen as the usual form of the name; it also occurred asTirassen,Tirozen,Tilocen,Tilossen,Tilocen,andThilocen.[6]The place was north of Mattau (modern-dayMadou, Tainan) and south of Favorlang (Huwei, Yunlin).
Kingdom of Tungning
editIn 1661 (the 15th year ofYung-Li,Ming dynasty),Koxingadefeated the Dutch based in Taiwan and founded theKingdom of Tungning.He established one province,Cheng-Tien-Fu ,and two counties,Tien-Hsing andWan-Nien ,demarcated by the Hsin-Kang River (Chinese:Tân cảng khê,now theYanshui River). Chiayi was under the jurisdiction of the Tien-Hsing County.
Qing dynasty
editIn 1683, when Qing rule began, the island was governed asTaiwan Prefectureunder the administration ofFujian Province.In 1684,Tsulo Countywas established and initially encompassed the underdeveloped northern two-thirds of Taiwan. (Taiwan and Hongsoa counties were divided from Wan-Nien County during theKingdom of Tungning,which was changed from Tien-Hsing County.) In 1704, the county seat was moved to Tsulosan, the site of modern-day Chiayi City, and had wooden city walls.
In 1727, the county magistrate, Liu Liang-Bi rebuilt the gatehouses and set a gun platform for each gatehouse. The four gatehouses were named: "Chin Shan" (Khâm sơn) for East, "Tai Hai" (Đái hải) for West, "Chung Yang" (Sùng dương) for South, and "Kung Chen" (Củng thần) for North. In 1734 (the 12th year of Yongzheng), magistrate Lu-Hung built piercing-bamboo to better protect the city.
In 1786, theLin Shuangwen rebellionwas an attempt to siege Tsulosan but failed to overcome the defense of the inhabitants. Consequently, on November 3 of the next year, the Qing Emperor conferred the nameKagee(Gia nghĩa;lit.'commended righteousness') to praise the citizens' loyalty.
In the mid-1800s, a custom of annual riotous massstoningdeveloped in the city.[7][better source needed]
In 1887, a separateTaiwan Provincewas declared and the island was administratively divided into four prefectures; the city of Kagee belonged toTainan Prefecture.
Japanese rule
editIn 1895, Taiwan was ceded toJapanin theTreaty of Shimonoseki.The1906 Meishan earthquakedevastated the entire city wall except the Eastern Gate. The Japanese authorities reconstructed the city. Industries and trades started to flourish. According to the census taken in 1904, Kagi was the fourth most populous city in Taiwan, with a population of over twenty thousand.[8]
TheGreat Kagi earthquake(later also known as the 1906 Meishan earthquake) struck the city in mid March 1906.[9]
In looking over some of my more recent Notes, it seems impossible to make the foregoing references to Ka-gi without adding a few words about that dreadful earthquake which devastated the region in March 1906. I was there soon after, and had a profound feeling of sadness on seeing whole streets covered with fallen beams and otherdebris;on seeing, too, so many traces of the awful suffering on every side. Within Ka-gi city, and a limited area around, 1,216 persons were suddenly thrust out into the eternal world. Not fewer than 2,306 persons were seriously injured, and 13,259 houses were laid low. The great mysterious Power then tore the earth into deep, open chasms in several places. Many of the narrow escapes and calamities were very affecting; particularly that of our blind evangelist Toa-un, who ran out of doors with his wife as the shaking began. The demented mother, however, could not bear the thought of her two helpless young children being left behind, and she darted in to rescue them, when my poor blind pupil became childless and a widower in an instant of time. No sooner had theGovernor-GeneralatTai-pakreceived telegraphic information of the magnitude of the calamity, than instructions were issued for a large company of surgeons, nurses, and assistants to proceed at once to Ka-gi. Wide hospital-sheds were erected without delay, and the work of relief was carried on with a rare amount of self-denial and promptitude. Even already, the city has lost much of its most desolate appearance, and the projected improvements give promise that it will have a more attractive look than ever. –William Campbell,1915
In 1907, the construction ofAlishan Forest RailwaytoMount Aliwas begun. In 1920, the city became an autonomous group asKagi Town(Gia nghĩa nhai),Kagi District, withinTainan Prefecture,which included modern-dayTainan City,Chiayi CountyandYunlin County.In 1930, the town was upgraded to an autonomous city under the same prefecture.
Republic of China
editAfter thehandover of Taiwan from Japanto theRepublic of Chinain October 1945,Chiayi Citywas established as aprovincial cityofTaiwan Province.The city consisted of 8 districts, which were Bajiang, Beimen, Beizhen, Nanmen, Tungmen,Tungshan,Ximen and ZhuweiDistricts.In 1946, the districts was reorganized to 6 districts in which Bajiang and Nanmen were merged to become Xinnan, Beimen and Beizhen were merged to become Xinbei, Tungmen and Tungshan were merged to become Xindong, Ximen and Zhuwei were merged to become Xinxi District and there were 2 addition of districts fromTainan Countywhich wereShuishangandTaibao Districts.[10]
Chiayi saw some of the most violent events during the228 Incident.In early March, local militas surrounded theShueishang Airportand fought against theKMTmilitary.[11]There were over 300 casualties.[12]On 12 March 1947, negotiators for peace, includingTan Teng-phoandPhuan Bok-tsi ,were arrested after arriving at the airport and were executed on 25 March. The Kuomintang also executed many civilians in Chiayi.[13]
On 16 August 1950, because of the re-allocation of administrative areas in which Taiwan was divided into 16 counties, five provincial cities and a special bureau, Chiayi City was downgraded to acounty-administered cityand merged withChiayi Countyto be thecounty seat.As a result, a shortage of capital hindered its development.
On 1 July 1982, Chiayi City was elevated again to aprovincial cityas a result of pressure from local elites.[14]On 6 October 1990, theEast DistrictandWest Districtwere established.[15]
